A little while back, the folks at Zen Studios announced a partnership with PopCap to create a line of digital pinball tables designed around the casual game developer’s fan-favorite catalog. The first table on that roster was announced today at the Penny Arcade Expo, PAX, and it looks like the timeless struggle of Plants vs. Zombies will continue on a good ole’ fashioned pin table.

Virtual pinball enthusiasts playing on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita have a lot to look forward to on Sept. 4, as that is the recently announced launch date for Zen Studios’ mega-collection, Zen Pinball 2.

Sometimes Earth’s mightiest heroes can’t take on the bad guys all alone. Sometimes they need help…Pinball help. And if that pinball action can come in three glorious dimensions, well, then that’s even better. Which brings me to the following announcement: Zen’s Marvel Pinball 3D is set to hit the Nintendo 3DS on June 28 through the eShop.

The fate of the world rests in your hands (or flippers, rather) as Zen Studios has confirmed release dates for Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles. The good news for those inpatient readers in the crowd is that you won’t be waiting long. This pack of four tables is hitting virtual store shelves next week.

Today Zen Studios revealed the release date for their first-person shooter The Punisher: No Mercy. The Unreal Engine 3-powered shooter will be released exclusively through the PlayStation Store on July 2nd.

When a publisher drops a game, particularly a game late in development, it puts developers into a bind. They'll end up moving onto other projects while searching for someone - anyone - to come in and publish their product. However, the upcoming multi-platform Ghostbusters game seems to have benefited from being dumped by their original publisher.
